What is an Annotated Bibliography?

DEFINITIONS:

A BIBLIOGRAPHY is a list of sources that you use for your research project.

BIBLIOGRAPHIES are also sometimes called References or Works Cited pages.

A bibliography includes the bibliographic information

(i.e., the author, title, publisher, etc.).

An ANNOTATION is a brief summary of the information from a source that you use in your research.

Now let's smash the two together!

An ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY is the sources you want to use for your project and a summary of each one.

An ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY answers the following questions:

-What is in the book, article, or website that you are using?

-Why did you choose this for your project?

-How does this resource help you complete your assignment?

The following are EXAMPLES of sources that could be used for your research:

-Books

-Journal Articles

-Websites

-Newspaper Articles

-Art

-Sound Recordings

-YouTube Videos

-Speeches

-Movies

-Interviews

-Reports
